- Roll the puff pastry out on a flat surface and cut the puff pastry evenly into 8 rectangles.
- Place the puff pastry rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.

- Fill a piping bag or ziplock bag with the cream cheese mixture and cut the tip off.
- Pipe the cream cheese mixture onto each rectangle on top of the holes created with the forks.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash on the outside edges of each rectangle.
